Think Christianly (2011) by
Jonathan Morrow is a book for our times. There are other books that address to
implications of worldviews on how we act and I have greatly benefited from the
works of Francis Schaeffer.
However, this is a modern
book that is relevant to the current generation that is immersed in constant
secular communication. Morrow asks us to challenge our culture & worldviews
and then move on to proactively engage the society around us.
This book comprehensively
addresses the contemporary issues at a very readable level and provides
practical advice to put ideas into action. I particularly like the chapters on
‘Questions of Faith & Science’, including a section on Science & the
Bible.
I heartily endorse Morrow’s
book that shows us how to develop and understand our own worldviews, and then
go out to the culture with an effective Christian message.
Biblical worldview (Personal Statement)
My view is consistent with
the views of the Truth Project on Biblical worldview:
·
A formal worldview based
ultimately upon that nature, character, and being of God as it is expressed in
His infallible Word [the Bible] and His creation. It becomes the
foundation for a life system that governs every area of existence.
·
Or, a comprehensive
conception of the universe and man’s relation to it—“a way of looking at the
world.”
In my opinion, a Biblical
worldview includes the following:
God created the universe and continues to
rule it today. He is omnipotent and omniscient
God exists as a Trinity—a
single entity composed of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth
Absolute moral truth exists
and the Bible defines these absolute moral truths.
Man exists as a created
being with a dual nature (Spirit, Flesh).
·
The important issues of
life are spiritual in nature.
Salvation is a gift from
God. It cannot be earned through good works
